Angry Windows/locks won't work?!?!?

So my durango has been sitting in the garage for a minute and when I get in it and fire it up, I realize that the windows and the locks won't work off of any of the switches in the car. I looked around for any blown fuses but found none. Oh yeah and the car will lock/unlock with the remote. I don't get it. It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out any help is welcome.

Try looking into the master switch on the driver door. Sometimes wires can work loose over time. Use a flathead to gently pry it off the armrest and check the connections. HTH.

+1. Bad master door switch is the first place to look based on your description.

+4 on the master switch. I had to get mine replaced. It happened within the first week of when I bought mine and I called the dealership and they replaced it for free. I was glad!

there is a plug on the master switch no soldering necessary, just unplug old one remove and throw away, plug in new one and snap back into door and you are good to go

+1 Once any kind of moisture gets to the circuit board on the Master Switch, it is a goner!!

I just drove mine last week and the same thing happened. Anyone know if there is a better switch out there? Normaly I stick with OEM because it is made pretty well, but in this case, there might be a better one out there.
